Chapter Six

I dropped Tiana at her home before driving back home,the security guard Fred opened the gate with a salute,and with a smile i zoomed into the garage where i parked my car, i alighted from the car, made my way to the boot as i grab my bag before strolling inside.

Dad was on the couch reading another one of his newpaper but looked up when he heard the door opening. While Freddi was on the floor playing with his train.

"So how was shopping?" Dad asked,then saw the bags on my hand " guess it went well".

"It did." I said walking over to him as i dropped the bag giving him a big hug. "Hi dad".

"Hi Pumpkin." He looked at me with a smile when the hug was over.

"Hi kiddo." I waved to Freddi who just nod before resuming his train ride, I shook my head with a fond smile on my face as i watched him.

"Your sister is back." Dad announced.

"Charlotte is back?" I ran upstairs when i got a nod.

"She is in the kitchen with your mum." My dad yelled laughing. I stopped on my track then turned back as i raced toward the kitchen. And like he said,she was in the kitchen with mum dressed in a gray suit with apron stained in flour. I guess she came directly from the company.

"Charlotte." I yelled as i ran to her eveloping her in a tight hug. " I have missed you." I mumbled into her back.

"I missed you too." She turned into the hug. "But why did you have to come back now...you have ruin the surprise."

"I am still very much surprise. Thank you." I said as we separated "what are you baking?."

"Surprise." She chuckle before grabbing a spatula ."Now shuu" she motioned toward me.

"Fine....i am even tired self." I grumbled "you better not leave when i am sleeping."

"I won't. " She promised making the habit of crossing her heart.

"You better...today is Sunday." I said with a smirk before making my way upstairs and towards my room. " Am forgetting something." I said trying to recall.

"My bags!!" I yelled as i ran out of the room and down the stairs to where Dad was sitting.

"Forgot something?" he smirk.

"Dad..." I pouted as i collected the bags before going upstairs and into my room.

Today was quite stressful ,after yesterday's party i was planning on sleeping through out today,but still i am happy we went shopping,we were finally able to get our friend back. I jumped on the bed ,letting out a girly scream.

'Today couldn't be much better.' I thought with a smile. Just then my phone rang,i jumped up from the bed and towards my bag.

"Hello." I glanced at the number before putting it close to my ear.

"I know you said you want to be friends,and i agreed... But can we go out on a date." He exhaled sharply "just one".

"Fine... You are lucky i am in a happy mood." I plopped back into the bed " tomorrow after lecture." I said as my leg dangled in the air.

"Sure." He replied exicited. "You won't regret it".

'i hope so' I thought as i stared at the moon and star dangling above my head.

"See you tomorrow." I said and hung up. To be sincere i was quite excited for the date tomorrow,this would be my first date. Yeah i know for a college girl, I'm supposed to have gone on lots of date, though i have been asked by guys in my high school year ,but i was so fixated on graduating high school and going to college that i turned down each and every guy who had approach me. But this is college and if I don't have fun here,i am not gonna have fun anywhere, I don't want to be like my sister Charlotte a workaholic. With that in mind,i slept off.

I stirred when i felt gentle taps on my body,i groaned loudly before i finally opened my eyes to see Charlotte with a sly smirk on her face.

"Five more minutes." I groaned turning away.

"Then i guess i will have to go." Mumbled Charlotte.

"No.... You promised." I yelled as i sprang up from the bed.

"Got you." She said with a laugh. "Come downstairs." She said then left.

I walked over to the bathroom where I rinsed the remaining sleep from my eyes. I was about going out before i remember i haven't changed my outfit. I took a quick shower before wearing blue top and short.

I got downstairs to see Mum,Dad,Freddi and Charlotte all on the couch.

"What's going on?" I asked confused.

"Take a seat." Mum motion to the couch beside them. I plopped down staring at them confused as to what was happening.

"Well...since we are all here. Your Mum decided that we should celebrate." Dad glanced at me before looking back at the screen.

"And i baked cookies." Chipped Charlotte.

"Not only cookies." Mum Said with a nudge to Charlotte.

"And cakes." Charlotte finished.

"No wonder you were covered in flour." I said with a laugh.

"Yes!!" Freddi cheered loudly at the sound of cakes.

And that was how the night went, we played chess,cards and even Charade as laughters filled the house. Freddi ate a lot of cakes and cookies and was sent to bed by Mum. The night ended when Charlotte got a call from work and had to go, not before apologizing and promising to make it up to us.

My alarm woke me up from bed , well this was the fifth time it rang because i stopped the last four. With a groan i got up from bed, brush and had a quick shower.

"Today's date." I gasped loudly before making my way to the closet . Clothes were lying around everywhere as i search for what to wear.

"The bags!!" I yelled as j ran towards the bag, i brought out the matching outfit that caught my eyes in the mall.

"Yes!!" I yelled,finally deciding on what to wear. 'Need to look good for my date.' I thought as i wore my clothe,even did light makeup , I decided to leave my hair down before spraying my exotic perfume,grabbed my Gucci hand bag then left the room.

"Morning dear." Mum yelled as she ate her pancake with coffee on her hand. "Come eat." She motioned.

"Sorry Mum,I am aready late." I rushed out.

"And whose fault is it?" Question Mum as she gave me full look. "And where are you going all dressed up?".

"College Mum." I sassed.

"Don't sass me young lady." Mum glared at me.

"Bye Mum." I ran outside and towards the garage as i got in my car zooming off.

I Came to a halt at the entrance of the school,after finding a empty lot to park my car. And that was another reason why i hated driving car.

I made my way inside to see both Tiana and Zina already waiting for me.

"Your late." Grumbled Tiana.

"Again like always." Stated Zina as she stared at her wrist watch.

"I know,am sorry." I said as i walked to them.

"Come on,lets go in." Tiana said as she swung her arm around me. "You look different." She stated giving me a once over.

"Different? You mean in a good way?." I asked facing her.

"Yes. But strange." She replied. "This is so unlike you." She continued as I kept quiet.

"Lets go guys, We are having a new professor." Zina said at my right her arm also going round me as we walked into the already filled hall.

Zack waved at us from his seat when he saw us enter. We walked towards him. I mouthed a 'Thanks' before sitting down.

"Late again." He said with a smirk. "It never ends.You look different" He said.

"Exactly what i told her." Tiana whisper yelled just as Mr Fredinard (Mr Gabriel's replacement) the new professor walked in. Glasses in hand and suitcase in the other as he made his way to the podium.

"Good morning class." His voice boomed into the microphone. He got a whooping cheer from the student as cries of happiness filled the hall. "I can see you are all happy to see me." He stated as the looked round the hall.

"Yes!." Came the response.

"Guess there's no need for introduction." He stated before wearing his glasses." Today i will be talking about the human anatomy." He said facing towards the projector, he explained briefly showing them pictures on the projector. The lectures ended after much questions from the student. He bade us goodbye as he grabbed his suitcase leaving the hall.
